| Abstract |
In Nigeria, rapid urbanisation and increasing life expectancy are likely to increase the incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCD), including diabetes. As the epidemic of diabetes matures visual loss from diabetic retinopathy (DR) will increase unless mechanisms for early detection and treatment improve, and health systems respond to the growing burden of NCDs. We report findings in relation to diabetes and diabetic retinopathy from the Nigeria National Blindness and Visual Impairment cross-sectional Survey of adults aged >=40 years (2005-2007). |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 06 January 2015.
All research outputs
#15,314,171
of 22,776,824 outputs
Outputs from BMC Public Health
#11,323
of 14,847 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#209,060
of 353,311 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Public Health
#161
of 212 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,776,824 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 14,847 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 13.9. This one is in the 16th percentile – i.e., 16% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 353,311 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 212 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
